Have you seen this wonderful story about a young transracial adoptee’s journey to self-acceptance? #EyesThatWeaveTheWorldsWonders by @JoannaHoWrites & #LizKleinrock, illustrated by @dunghth

“From New York Times bestselling Joanna Ho, of Eyes that Kiss in the Corners, and award-winning educator Liz Kleinrock comes a powerful companion picture book about adoption and family. A young girl who is a transracial adoptee learns to love her Asian eyes and finds familial connection and meaning through them, even though they look different from her parents’.

Her family bond is deep and their connection is filled with love. She wonders about her birth mom and comes to appreciate both her birth culture and her adopted family’s culture, for even though they may seem very different, they are both a part of her, and that is what makes her beautiful. She learns to appreciate the differences in her family and celebrate them.”

Beautifully told from personal experience, this story explores the pain and joy of being adopted and not truly knowing where you’re from.
